- The ego is best defined as the mental activity of identifying with form rather than a fixed self.
- You can engage or disengage this activity by discerning when identification arises and choosing differently.
Ego As Evolutionary Teacher

- As we awaken, increased sensitivity to truth motivates transcending egoic blind spots.
